WEEK 12

WEEK 12

Date :29/04/2014 (Tuesday)

Introduction

This week is the last week in writing a project proposal. Student should be ensure all the task for the project proposal is completed and submitted during the due date that given. All the activities that has been made in this week will be discussed in this part.

Objective

• To finalize all the related matter with the project proposal.
• To show and submit first draft of the project proposal to the project supervisor.

Project Description

1. Do some research to obtain the technical specification for each part of materials that will be used in the entire of the proposed project
2. Finalize and compile all the technical specification that gathered
3. Record and written in the project proposal under material and methodology
4. Finishing all the desired task

Project Outcome

As the outcome for this week, all the desired task and objective is achieved which mean the first draft of the project proposal is completed and will be printed out for the purpose to show this entire draft to the project supervisor. Any comments from the project supervisor related with this draft is an important thing to do correction before binding and submitted. This method is very useful in term of to grab the desired/highest grade in the marking scheme

WEEK 11

WEEK 11

Date :24/04/2014 (Thursday)

Introduction

A project proposal assessment shall be carried out on individual basis for the purpose to fulfill the requirement of FYP 1 assessment. The project proposal shall be assessed by the appointed assessors. Student shall submit complete project proposal which shall include all the recommended amendment by panel of assessors within the time period specified by campus which is on week 13. This week, the project proposal will be made until on the due date that has given.

Objective

• To understand the assessment criteria that needed in the proposal report assessment
• To writing the project proposal according to the assessment criteria that provided

Project Description

The proposal report will be written according to the proposal report assessment that given. Each part in terms of the title, sub title and etc will be written in the recommended format and of appropriate length.

All the preparation for presentation day will be referred from this document

WEEK 9

WEEK 9

Date :01/04/2014-10/04/2014  (Tuesday - Thursday)

Introduction
Proposal presentation is one of the assessment in FYP 1 that will be made at the end of semester 6. The assessment is based on individually basis. It will be assessed by Project Supervisor and invited Assessor. The overall mark obtained by students is the average mark given by Supervisor and second Assessor. This week, a preparation for presentation day will be made and discussed clearly.

Objective

• To make some preparation before presentation day
• To making a PowerPoint presentation according to the assessment criteria that given

Project Description

All gathered information will be extracted in a simple way to understand according to the assessment criteria that needed. Each slide also will be decorated to look more attractive because sometimes people will bored when too much of word inserted in the slide.

Project Outcome

The figure below is a slide that has been made for presentation day:

Figure 1:PowerPoint Presentation that will be used on presentation day

Figure 2: PowerPoint Presentation (continued)

All the completed slides will be shown to the project supervisor before presentation day. As a conclusion, all the for this week completed perfectly and a PowerPoint presentation that has been made has been approved by project supervisor.

WEEK 8

WEEK 8

Date :04/03/2014-14/03/2014  (Tuesday - Friday)

Introduction

The budget process is a collecting all costs associated with finishing a project. In the other terms, it is aggregating the estimated costs of individual activities or work projects (establishing) an authorized cost baseline which helps ensure it is completed for the cost expected. This week, overall cost of the project that has been estimated will be listed and discussed in details.

Objective

• To estimate overall costs of the project
• To list cost of the entire material that will be used in this proposed project

Project Description
In terms to find the best and a cheapest products, a few store that sell required materials in this project will be reviewed and listed. The method that used is by searching all related stores. In various website and the another methods is by refer a person that familiar in that matter (i.e friends, lecturers).

Project Outcome

The result that obtained from this is such as a table that show below:

Table 1: Estimation on overall cost of the project

Overall cost to develop this project is about RM 248.90. It is reasonable price. However, this is the best and the lowest price that obtained from the survey

WEEK 7

WEEK 7

Date :25/02/2014-27/02/2014  (Tuesday - Thursday)

Title of activity 
Research and Findings (RF Module)

Function of RF Module

An RF Module is a small electronic circuit which is used to receive, transmit or transceive radio waves on one of a number of carrier frequencies, RF Modules are often used in consumer applications including wireless alarm systems, garage door openers, industrial remote controls, wireless home automation systems and smart sensor applications. Due to RF module not requiring line-of-sight operation, they are often used instead of infrared remote controls. A module is a self-contained component of a system, which has a well defined interface to other components. An RF module is a functional integration of semiconductor devices.

Conclusion
This project will be  separate for two parts which are transmit data from Android phone and Personal Computer (PC) to PIC via RF Module and PIC will receive data from two devices. Likely, my project is more towards how Android phone and Personal Computer (PC) communicate with PIC through RF Module.
